Also, Ace, that'd actually be a Roco charset. Yeah, miscrediting is exactly why she stopped making things.

Hmm, I thought it was Roco who made the faceset (along with the portraits) and then mack and blue made the charsets that went with them. I dunno, either way, if you are using Linkforce's poses without his permission, that isn't good. I'd either get his permission or have your own made, because if you don't do either it's gonna become a deciding factor for many when it comes to whether they want to play your game or not.[/B]

But in all Honesty as long as the game doesn't suck, Ill probably still play it...

And I think Roco made the faces for the Character set

He's still taking and using my stuff without my permission and thats messed up.

Alright, you've proved your point. Just wait for him to contact you before saying anything else. Maybe you can work out a compromise, like he has to recolor everything or change the hair or something.

Hate to be a dick but
None of this stuff is illegal,

If he doesn't ask to use it, The most anyone can
do is Tell people not to play it.

Holy crap, I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I already sent Linkforce a PM, but in my defense, his topic only said not to use resources with a CD in front of them. And in my version of Carpe Diem, the battle character didn't.

As for the charaset, its Roco, so I'm free to do with that as I please.

On a game update, I started the maps for the temple after the first dungeon. Its going to be kind of like a town inside a building (if that makes any sense). The basement is also going to be used for a side quest. After I finish this part the story really picks up as its the introduction of Kalibur.

Also, got some character art by for me by KXSakuraba:

No, the char set was definitely made by Roco. It's not in the same art style as the rest of the Mac and Blue charas.

Besides, the naming sequence also contributes to this fact, since "Char15" and "Char16" are objects, while 17, 18, and 19 are all actual people, and are the ones that were done by Roco.

I read about this stuff on an old, and very useful, RPG maker website. Had all sorts of collections of useful links to websites, sample resources, and other various collections of information. Shame, though, because now it's been replaced with a weird site about Daggerfall, Arena, the Sims, and other games that we don't care too much about, or at least aren't really all that useful in our crusade to make a good game.

But that's besides the point.


Anyway, back to the game at hand: I think I could go ahead and do any male voice if I have to. Just not all that great at younger people. I can do older people just fine.

Uh, other than that, I'm not quite sure what to say, except that the chip sets are pretty nifty and the game just shows a lot of work put into it.

I remember that site! That place was great. The owner contacted me when I was taking the Mack & Blue / Roco characters and making RTP battle characters out of them and put some of my material on there as well. Good times, then, when I was close to being a legend like Mach and Blue and Roco were, before I got lazy / stupid and abandoned my spriting for Charas politics.

[Meiscool-2]

So, did he let you use the battle character or what? Just curious.

[ImmortalDreamer]

Dunno yet, I haven't got a reply.

[Lainke]

Look nice, it looks u work a lot in the characters description hehe ^^

[ImmortalDreamer]

Well, I got a reply back from Linkforce. As I expected from his replies to this thread, he doesn't want me to use the set. He wants me to change the look of the main character altogether, but as I already stated, I'm too far into the game to do that.

Basically, I now have 2 choices. First, I could keep using the battle character. Second, I could make a battle character for that charaset which would look pretty much the same. Hm...hard choice. I decided to go with the first option.

If some of you don't want to play my game because of this, so be it. I won't lose any sleep over it. I don't make my games to be known as "the best game creator" or anything. I do it cause its fun. I don't see why using the character is a big deal. Games like Legend of Philosopher's Stone did it with Kindred Sagas characters and look how popular it got.

So yeah, basically the point of this post is stating that I'm going to use the battle character anyway and my reasons why. I'll still update this topic for the people who still want to play.

[Meiscool-2]

It's not so much that you're using something of someone elses, it's the fact that you didn't ask.

Using the maker of The Legend of Philosopher's Stone (Nemasomething) is a bad example, because he asked permission before he stole resources.

You should probally at least recolor it. Recolors of that small of a scale don't take that much time.

[Linkforce]

That's messed up dude.  At least recolor it if your going to use without my permission that is mine.  A lot of people...myself included will lose respect for you for doing this.  Totally not cool.

[ImmortalDreamer]

Yeah, I get the point already. Its messed up.

Its not like I'm claiming I ****ing made it. I gave you credit. And its not like its based off a charaset you made. If I made my own, it would look pretty much the exact same, so what would be the point? And the resources used in LotPS were all original, not a battle character made from another set.

The character set is not exclusive to your game, so stop acting like it is. Just because you chose to use it for Skylar, doesn't mean its now exclusively Skylar's set. I'm not the first person to use it and I doubt I'll be the last.

Personally, I think you're making a big deal out of nothing. I didn't steal it, I gave him credit. If that's what consitutes stealing, then every one of you who uses ripped graphics is stealing cause I doubt you asked Nintendo or Square for permission. Think of it as a ripped graphic from Carpe Diem.

I'm not trying to beat Carpe Diem or anything, I just want to make a game that's fun to play. Sharing resources is how the RM community thrives. When my game is released, if you wanna use any of my resources, go ahead. I have no problem with it as long as I'm credited.

If you don't wanna play the game, fine. Then don't. If you do, go ahead. I don't care either way. I'm sure someone will play the game either way.
